Thanks for the lease info. What are the incentives, dealer hold backs, etc... on a 36 month 12K lease for a 3 i GT sedan? Had a good deal on MSRP $24985, with a sell price of $22200 all in. Once I mentioned leasing another $1000 shows up in price and/or payments. Is there that much difference in cash or financing vs leasing?

Hi Michaell, I am in the process of leasing a Buick Encore 1SB in Ohio. I see on Edmunds that incentives for this month includes two Conquest Bonus Cash offers for non-GM lessees; one valued at $1500 ending 8/31/15 and another one $1000 ending 8/3/15. Is that correct? Are these combinable? I appreciate if you could help me. Thanks.

Michaell,Thank you for your response to my post. I would appreciate some guidance if you can give it since I am a complete newbie to car buying and don't want to get screwed.

Im honestly not sure what you mean by the "Real world trade in values" but I brought my volvo to carmax and the guy told me it wasn't worth it to buy out my lease and then sell it to carmax. The reason I guess is because I am currently finishing up a very short lease (24 months) on my volvo and the sale value is lower? than what I could buy it out for. That being said, I only have a month left with the lease that is already paid for. So when I go to the dealer this weekend looking for a new lease, can I ask them if it was possible to roll over the excess mileage that I've accumulated? or in this situation should I just wait until the lease is up, pay the overage and then lease a new car.

Do you think the evoque is a decent deal at this time? Any ideas on what my monthly payment would be with $0 down at $45,00

This is what he tells me.Desi,Nothing like that exists. We have a lot of rebates on the A6 right now, if we order something we expect it to be much higher since they will expire while waiting for the car. The Summer of Audi sales event programs are excellent right now.

If you are looking for lower and much more choices you should consider the standard seats on a regular premium plus. I think you should come in and meet with someone here and see the difference in person.

I'm in the process of TRANSFERING a lease from a previous owner under my name. Its a 2015 550i x drive. He has had the car for 5 months and has 5K miles on it. there are a total of 27500mi left in the contract with 34 months. This is the original deal he got back in February of this year. so I am curious to see if he got a decent deal and if the deal he is offering is good for me.

How do I determine if the dealer is padding the MF (quoted at .00045) or the Capitalized Cost (quoted at $30,708)? I don't know if they are just a little high on their quote or way over priced. This is my first attempt at leasing and I'm hoping to wrap this up before the end of the month. Thanks for any help you can give me - it's much appreciated.

Hello: Wondering if this about as good as it gets right now...any help would be appreciated..

2015 Honda Pilot SE, 12000 miles per year, ZERO DOWN LEASE PROMO(see below)from Honda.com is what the numbers are based on..

I have checked with about 7 dealerships and this was the best so far....

$31,973.02 is Net capitalized cost includes $595 acquisition fee. Dealer contribution may vary and could affect actual lease payment. Total monthly payments $12,600.00. Option to purchase at lease end $20,720.00.

Sales price I was given is $31,145.57, fees are $883.00(includes doc fee, inspection, registration and title) plus 6.5% sales tax=$34,050.64 so $422.86 per month for 36 months with 0 down at lease signing as everything is rolled into the lease.....payment includes sales tax....

Hi Michaell. You seem very knowledgeable so I thought you might know this. I was ready to lease a new Tahoe, but when I test drove it, it has a stutter (almost like it was missing on one cylinder) at moderate acceleration. The car was right off the truck and had not been prepared by the service department, other than checking fluids (still had protective plastic on paint and plastic on seats). Could this be something that would be fixed during dealer prep in the service department? I like the car, but don't want to buy into a bunch of headaches? Ever heard of anything like this? ECU learning ??

Thank you Michaell for your input. You are very helpful to those less knowledgeable. For me, there are so many variables between price and whether to lease or buy (for business use) that it is hard to make a decision.

If you can provide the money factor and residual, that would be great. I can try to figure out what payment SHOULD be. If you can actually do the calculation, then that would be super awesome.

I have never leased a car and have been trying to educate myself with leaseguide dot com and I hope I understand their formula correctly. I used your figures of 36/10 - .00102 MF, 56% Residual, 6% off MSRP, i get a payment of $637 with $1,400 down payment. is this correct or within ballpark ?
